Anderson Valley Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501 (c)3 organization committed in several ways to the unwanted canines and felines of Mendocino County, but primarily through rescue and rehoming, spay and neuter, transfers from Menodocino County Animal Control and "educating" new adopters. There is no physical shelter; animals are fostered in homes of volunteers throughout Mendocino County and even Santa Rosa are until they are ready, physically and emotionally, for adoption. Adoptions occur at Petco in Santa Rosa every Saturday and in other locations within Mendocino County such as Rainbow Ag in Ukiah. All animals are neutered/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested (Canines for heartworm, Felines for feline AIDS and leukemia). Those that test "Positive" and are otherwise adoptable, are put up for adoption with support/treatment as are any"special needs" companions. Some are placed through breed rescues, Marin Humane Society, SFSPCA and other rescue entities with AVAR paying required fees. If you are interested in adopting, fostering, volunteering or donating, please call the director, Cheryl, at 895-3785 or volunteers Charlene (468-5218) or Bobbie (743-1296).
Meanwhile, get yourself down to Rainbow Ag and see the latest wonderful cat waiting for a lifetime loving home. Yours?
